At this time, the nine warships with "Dingyuan" as their flagship attacked. Although the Geely fleet was large in number, they did not hesitate to turn back and must seize this fleeting opportunity.

When the Geely Army adjusts its formation, everything will become a thing of the past.

The Qing Dynasty did not occupy an absolute disadvantage, all of their warships were purely new-style ironclad ships.

The Geely Army’s 11,800-ton Sea Fury, 7,500-ton Ares, War Damaged 4,600-ton Mento and Orion have already separated from the large forces due to their fast ship speed.

In the large force, except for the three 6000-ton old iron-clad ships of the Duke, the “Wanderer” and the “pirates”, and the two 4000-ton iron-clad cruisers of the “Carona” and “Gaululi”, the others are all old wooden cruisers. Only a thin layer of iron is wrapped on the outside.

At this time, the gap between the new and old warships is reflected. The speed of the fleet is extremely fast. Although the head of the ship is facing the enemy, the main guns are installed in the gun mounts, which can rotate 120 degrees, and are breech guns with a rate of fire. Teaching those old warships is much faster.

"Aim at the old cruiser in front of them!"

Liu Buchan played a semaphore.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!

Sixteen 305mm main guns on the four ships of Dingyuan made a huge roar.The hot ground shock wave emitted a dazzling red light on the muzzle, and white smoke rushed out of the muzzle. Their advanced shock-proof and decompression device also stabilized their huge bodies.

This is the first beautiful salvo issued by the Qing Dynasty since the start of the war.

The 12-inch armor-piercing projectile and the blooming projectile exploded in the water and the water column was as high as 100 meters. If it exploded next to the Geely warship, warships under 4,000 tons could feel a noticeable shaking.

The side of the old cruiser "Constantinople" was squeezed out of a big hole, the shells entered the inner compartment and caused a fire, and he had to lean back to carry out fire fighting operations.The 1800-ton Louis directly started to tilt. In fact, he was only hit by two shots, but the 305MM artillery was too terrifying, and it used yellow explosives with picric acid added.

He left two large holes above the waterline on his port side. An armor-piercing projectile directly penetrated the cabin in the middle and entered his engine room, causing the explosion of the boiler. After the terrible explosion, a huge fire snake rushed through the opening torn by the shell. After coming out, a large amount of sea water swarmed in from the cave.He who has completely lost his motivation is hard to save...

"Don't hit me with those big ones, pick me up soft persimmons!"

Weiyuan Haoguan led Qiu Baoren directly out of the control tower to the side of the turret and shouted, and the two guards could not pull it.

"Fucking muzzle increased by five degrees!"

"Go and see if the bastard in the engine room is not full, adding some coal is so slow,"

He walked around during his bare overtime work, and people around him were hit by shrapnel from time to time, but he was not at all afraid. Naturally, sailors came up to say that the wounded were towed away. Those who should carry the shells still carry them, and those who extinguish the fire will continue to put out the fire... www.51aslz.com

At this time, the battlefield was divided into three parts. On the left of the Qing fleet, the Sea Fury, the God of War, the War Damaged Mento and the Orion were besieging Chaowei, Yang Wei, and Yang Yong, while on their right were the old ships. Boat force.

The 5,700-ton Chaoyong and the 3,500-ton Yang Wu on the far right have begun to slowly evacuate from the battlefield. Their mission has been completed and it is difficult to continue fighting.

The four Dingyuan teams led by Liu Bu are about to rush into the Geely army. Jiang Jili's army is completely divided, and a chaotic battle is about to begin.

However, the Geely National Navy once again demonstrated their tactical qualities. They quickly began to turn, forming a straight line on the left and right of the four Dingyuan ships, so the sides of the four ships of Dingyuan each faced a Geely front. situation.

"Their five medium-sized ironclad ships will definitely attack our old-fashioned warships first, let them pay attention to avoidance!"

Will Hamilton commanded the fleet changes while issuing orders.

However, the truth is not what he thought.

The Guangyuan Five Ships turned out to have a full rudder left. Their goal was actually to defeat the Chaowei, Yang Wei, and Yang Yong. The latest battleship of the Geely Army was the 7500-ton Ares and the 4600 war damaged. Ton Mento and Orion.

"Are they crazy do they think the Dingyuan four ships can carry our flanking attack?"

"They are too confident!"

"They were flanked on three sides by the Sea Fury."

The Geely Army found that the battlefield seemed chaotic, but it was actually divided into two. Whoever wins the first battlefield will achieve the decisive direction of the naval battle.

The new-style warships of the Geely Army headed by the Sea Fury can attack almost all the Qing warships, and are also attacked.

The four battleships headed by Dingyuan also had the same result.

"boom!"

The left main turret on the deck of the 7500-ton Ares fired a 35-caliber cannon and fired a 240mm shell, which directly penetrated Yang Yong's armor with only more than 100 mm.

The shells penetrated into the ammunition depot, causing a terrible series of explosions, leading to a terrible series of explosions.The huge explosion disconnected the entire battleship from the middle, the red flames rushed into the sky, and the explosion fragments scattered and fell in all directions. Almost all of the 345 captains of the Qing Navy Unicom were buried in the sea.Very few escaped.

"This is a warplane that the cruisers have exchanged for their lives, so I can't let it go!"

"Get revenge for my brothers and beat me! Beat him hard!"

Nanyang Navy Admiral Lin Taizeng’s eyes were red. He commanded Guangyuan and Caesar’s five iron-clad ships to fire a volley on the Ares. Dingyuan, Chaowei and other warships also seemed to have a heart, facing the new Geely warship. All of the guns were aimed at the Ares...
